Bears are common in many of British Columbia's provincial parks. Under the Wildlife Act, it is illegal to feed bears, cougars, coyotes, or wolves. As the old saying goes, "a fed bear is a dead bear." Do not leave food out at night - seal and lock it inside of your vehicle.
When walking in the woods, some hikers like to attach tiny bells to their packs to warn bears of their presence. Despite their size, bears are actually quite timid and will avoid humans unless they feel threatened. Using gravel inside of an empty pop can is also effective.

I heard when you see a bear you should never run but slowly back away do you know if this is true?
